Oregon's First Lady Is a Wannabe Marijuana Farmer; Networks Ignore
By and large the national liberal media have ignored gubernatorial races this election cycle, preferring to focus on the battle for control of the U.S. Senate. That is perfectly understandable, of course, but not when a juicy watercooler-worthy story comes along like this one.

NBC Banishes Story to Sunday on Obama's Unpopularity Ahead of Midterms
On Sunday, NBC Nightly News took the unusual step of running a story that not only discussed the upcoming midterm elections but also President Obama’s unpopularity on the campaign trail as Democrats struggle to keep control of the Senate.

Clinton Speechwriter: Bush 43 'Was Inarticulate Off the Cuff'
Apparently the folks at Vocativ, who took a look at over 600 presidential speeches going all the way back to George Washington, were a little reluctant to document what their "scientific" analysis of those speeches told them about this nation's two most recent chief executives.
After finding that there is very little difference between the "sophistication" of speeches made by President Obama and…
AP's Winfield Hypes 'Seismic Shift' on Homosexuals in Vatican Document
Nicole Winfield unsurprisingly slanted toward left-wing LGBT groups in her Monday article about the mid-term report of the Catholic bishops' synod on the family currently underway at the Vatican.

Maybe it was like evil genius move, who knows?"
So his biggest supporters not knowing his name helps…

Limbaugh Scathing in Takedown of NBC Courting Jon Stewart for MTP
New York magazine reported this week that NBC was willing to move heaven, earth and heaven yet again if necessary to corral Comedy Central's Jon Stewart to moderate "Meet the Press." Anyone who heard Rush Limbaugh's epic evisceration in response is likely to see Stewart and NBC in a dimmer light.
Limbaugh could see this coming months ago, telling his listeners in May that "comedians are now the…

AP Dishonestly Headlines Report On Davis's Despicable Anti-Abbott Ad
Another day, another dishonest Associated Press headline.
